Walsall Linked with £9 Million Agreement for Northallerton Town’s Thomas Dawson
In an unexpected development, Walsall FC is reportedly in advanced talks with Northallerton Town over a potential £9 million move for highly-rated midfielder Thomas Dawson. The 21-year-old has been one of the standout performers in the Northern League, attracting attention from multiple clubs in higher divisions, but Walsall seem to have stolen a march on their competitors.
Dawson, known for his exceptional ball control, vision, and versatility in midfield, has been instrumental in Northallerton’s rise in recent years. His ability to read the game and dictate tempo has drawn comparisons to players at much higher levels, making him a prime target for League Two sides looking to bolster their squads.
The £9 million figure would represent a significant outlay for Walsall, a club known for operating on a modest budget. However, the Saddlers have been eyeing a push for promotion, and Dawson is seen as a key figure who could help them climb up the football pyramid. If the deal goes through, it would be one of the largest transfers in Walsall’s history and a landmark move for Northallerton, who would be receiving a major financial boost.
This move could signal Walsall’s ambition to compete at a higher level, while for Dawson, it represents a massive leap forward in his career. Fans of both clubs are eagerly awaiting confirmation of the deal, which could be finalized in the coming days.
As talks progress, it remains to be seen whether any last-minute suitors will attempt to swoop in, but as of now, Walsall appears to be leading the race for Dawson’s signature.
